Apple plans to scan US iPhones for child abuse imagery, should we expect Google to follow suit?

It's kinda obvious where it leads. Next thing you know, it informs the authorities if your phone contains Vinnie Pooh images (for China), photos of a government official's mansion (for Russia), gay porn (for Islamic countries) or copyrighted stuff (for the US). So let's skip the discussion of implications and go straight to discussing whether something like this is possible on Android, and what does it all mean for the future of Android.

Personally, I considered buying my first iPhone when my Note 9 gives up (not anytime soon, hopefully), but this may make me reconsider that. Will Android become a better option for privacy for an average user (not someone who'd use LOS with microG) now?

New YouTube slide to seek feature

Discovered it accidentally and couldn't find anything online about it

You trigger it by long pressing on the video. Definitely a useful feature for scrubbing videos more accurately

Seems to be a server side feature since it doesn't work on my other devices. App version is 16.20.35
